Automotive mcus most integrated of their kind says Freescale
Freescale Semiconductor has introduced its first single chip solution for automotive dashboard displays. According to the semiconductor manufacturer, there is no other device on the market that provides such a high amount of integrated features for dashboard displays.
The Qorivva MPC5645S mcu range is part of Freescale's 32bit mcus built on Power Architecture. It has new advanced features such as high quality digital graphics, dual displays and video input capabilities for applications such as backup camera feeds. According to Freescale, the devices supply enough processing performance to efficiently display data from a variety of internal systems.
Having optimised multiple components into a single chip, Ray Cornyn, director of Freescale's automotive mcu business, believes the devices are the most integrated device of their kind.
"These parts integrate high end graphics and analogue functions for a true single chip solution which can help automakers shrink the system footprint and its power consumption," said Cornyn.
The MPC5645S devices are currently available from Freescale in sample quantities.
